Brain Squeeze: A Trivia Scavenger Hunt at the Liberty Science Center

If a trivia quiz and a scavenger hunt had a baby…

…it would look a lot like this unusual game. Here’s how it works: each question challenges your team to answer a trivia question—about movies, music, history, sports, science, books, and more—and that answer becomes a crucial clue to answering a question about an exhibit in the museum. If you like pub quizzes, you’ll love this hunt.

How might your knowledge come in handy?

• Knowing the trouble with Tribbles on Star Trek could help you discover the worm that Christopher Columbus found quite “boring.”
• Remembering the other name for London’s Millennium Wheel could held you find out what turns a frown upside down in an exhibit with a big brain.
• Teaming up to recall a sporting Bear nicknamed for a kitchen appliance could expose unsavory symptoms you’d get from fowl play.

You can use your smartphone if you get stuck, but keep in mind that teams that get the answers faster will get more questions and score more points.
